Oh I wish I lived in Mahone Bay to partake in their shop life...a group of local ladies were sitting comfortably & having a great time knitting/chatting. The owner couldnt have been nicer...immediately asked if I needed help and took me right over to the local NS yarns. Love to purchase locally produced products when travelling. Have a Yarn had the best selection of the 4 (lol)yarn shops I visited in NS. Couldnt resist her cute store project bag either. Knitters: be sure to stop.

It was very hot the day we stopped here and the air conditioned space was appreciated! There is a shop with lots of pewter pieces for sale and also a mini museum about pewter with free demonstrations given on how pewter is used. Very informative!

We found them in the community centre, in a studio location. Apparently this is their retirement project,downsized but still going strong! I loved their work.

All in one spot, parking too. Decked out for the season and Father Christmas was there walking about. This last two weekends was their Father Christmas Event. The town had so much to offer....we spent the day and enjoyed every minute. The owners of this shop were part of the house tour. There space was truly Christmas! We walked a lot but their was lots of parking too at each site.

Mahone Bay in general is a must visit if you are in Nova Scotia. It's an adorable little town, with a constant stream of activities - my parents and brothers all live here (I live in California). The museum has local history, and shows you about the families that formed it (many of the names which still live there) and other cute artifacts. Definitely go in, it doesn't take long and it helps to keep places like this alive and part of the community.

Such a unique spot. I love local breweries. We found it by accident when we wandered up a street. Beautiful outdoor patio. They sell their flights in different size choices, 5 seemed to be the perfect number. They have such a unique variety of beer, as well as cider! They don’t serve food on spot, however there is a food truck right beside that you can bring to your table. When we were leaving there was live music being set up, if we didn’t have other plans we would of stayed for another round. We took a 6 pack to go and a very unique haskap berry wine in a can. It’s perfect chilled. I defiantly recommend a stop at this place if you are around the Mahone Bay Area.
